Grill Cooking Tips
WOOD PELLETS
ONLY USE wood pellets made for a barbecue, not heat grade pellets. Barbecue wood pellets should be 100% all natural
wood and come in a variety of types of wood that will add flavor to whatever food you are grilling or smoking.
If possible, always use fresh wood pellets for each cooking session to ensure they burn properly giving off the correct
amount of heat and smoke flavor.
Store unused wood pellets in a safe, dry place, preferably in a moisture proof plastic container with a resealable lid.
GRILLING TIPS
• ALWAYS keep your grill clean and stored in a safe, dry place.
• After the food has finished cooking and been removed, it is recommended to set a high temperature in Cook Mode
and allow the grill to “burn off” food residue and drippings. If a fire occurs, do not unplug the power cord. Keep the lid
closed and turn the power OFF at the Command Center. The fire should burn itself out shortly while the grill is in shut
down mode.
• Preheat the grill before setting the desired grilling temperature or entering smoke mode. This will not only get the
grates hot, but also help the grates and other parts remain hygienic.
• Clean or wipe off cooking grates prior to use to help reduce food stains or flare ups.
• Ensure the grease cup is clean before each use.
• Never spray vegetable oil onto hot cooking grates.
• Keep the lid closed while grilling or smoking. The pellet system operates based off the internal temperature of the grill.
• For long cook times, periodically look into the pellet hopper to check the level of wood pellets. Add more wood pellets
as needed. DO NOT reach into the hopper while the grill is operating.
• Practice makes perfect. As with any smoker or grill, the more you use it, the more you understand the cooking
temperatures and performance.
GRILLING TIPS & CLEANLINESS
• If you pre-cook meat or poultry, do so immediately before grilling.
• Never defrost meat at room temperature or on a countertop.
• Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of taking off the grill.
• Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot water prior to handling food and after handling raw meat, uncooked
poultry or seafood.
• When using a platter to carry raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood, make sure to wash the platter thoroughly with
soap and hot water before placing cooked foods back on the platter.
• Never use the same utensils when handling raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood unless you wash the utensils
thoroughly with soap and hot water.
• Never re-use marinade from raw meat or uncooked poultry on foods that have been cooked and are ready to serve.
